Every attack can be countered and successfully pulling of a counter attack feels rewarding. You can also do a jumping attack or even a quick role to go in for a kill and you can also throw the sword at the enemy for a nice surprise. There are 3 main strikes high, medium and low. The controls are simple with the basic attack and jump button.

The more you learn how to properly attack and defend the more you see how deep and well balanced the game is. Nidhogg is all about focusing and mastering your fighting skills. Defending properly is key in battle because a well-timed counter will disarm the enemy for an easy kill. Once you make a kill, you will have to quickly run forward towards the end of the arena and benefit from the couple of seconds you have before the enemy respawns again in front of you for another battle.

Quick reflexes to defend and attack with full precision are important because one false move and a single attack will kill you. Each arena, with its own style and feel is divided into sections and your main goal is to defeat and run past the opponent to reach the final section where a flying dragon eats you however this won’t be an easy task as the battles are tough. Nidhogg is a side scroller one on one sword fighting game. I was quite skeptical about how this game will turn out however, my feelings changed when I found myself along with my friends all night I was quite skeptical about how this game will turn out however, my feelings changed when I found myself along with my friends all night challenging each other, battle after battle.
Nidhogg is too much fun to pass up, and is currently half its normal price on PS4. Too many times titles try to cram all the nuance of current gen gaming into an 8-bit package, when what really made those games fun WAS the fact that they didn't require so much of the player to understand. Nidhogg teaches a very important lesson to those developers who would put out retro looking titles to cash in on that nostalgia factor: SIMPLICITY BREEDS SOPHISTICATION. This is the kind of brilliant, unscripted gameplay that made classics classic. I was also in a four minute stand-off as I faced my opponent standing across a large gap, both of us daring each other to make the first move. I have ended matches in less than a minute with some deft maneuvering and clever swordplay. This makes the progression of the level flow beautifully, and truly there is never a dull moment in Nidhogg. The respawn timer is only a few seconds, so every second counts. Your goal is to reach the end of the stage, by running frantically every time you manage to skewer your opponent. Each level (there are four) consists of a center stage and three identical stages to either side of the center. This game is one part fencing simulator, one part Bushido Blade and a whole lot of retro chaos. Nidhogg takes a very simplistic formula and uses it to create one of the most tense and rewarding fighting games I've ever had the pleasure of playing.
I can't quite place my finger on what makes this game so amazing, but trying to play it without a huge grin on my face was nearly impossible.
